So, what do you do for a living? - Page 2

I work for #3 in the cell phone industry. Coming up on 13 years. No, I can't fix your cell phone. No, I can't get you a discount. And no, I can't fix your crappy coverage issues

I work on the wire line side of the network. Technical support for the control center that maintains the fiber optic network. We like to compare our work to what plumbers do, we fix the pipe, not the water. I actually love it for the most part, it's the people that sometimes piss me off.

I'm a user interface designer, have been for about the last 20 or so years, sites I have worked on or led the design team for are, to name a few, Amazon, Cabelas, AA, AT&T, HM, Viacom, Royal Post, Fidelity, etc., (while with ATG), I then worked for Intuit on QuickBooks, Quicken and Quicken Loans. I now work for one of the largest Independent Broker Dealers in the country. It was more exciting in the old days when we were actually creating things like "others have also viewed.." and custom controls on pages that are now common place.

My favorite project was the Federal Air Marshals' secure portal right after 9/11, made me feel like I was doing something to help.
